Loving the adventures Kaljaia!  Thanks for sharing.

Frank, I know what you mean about spatial intelligence vs remembering names.  I forget a name within seconds of meeting someone yet I have never been lost in my life.  It amazes my wife sometimes, she says I have a built in map in my head wherever we go.  I don't even really think about it, I just always know where I am.  It seems odd to me that other people get lost because it just comes so natural.

I forget names and get myself lost, so I don't know which kind of intelligence I have (or don't have!) but though i lose track of things when hiking, I have not yet gotten myself lost when out on foot; only when driving do I get really turned around. My mom's got the constant compass in her head and my brother's got a near-photographic memory; I'm just good at asking for directions.

(But Interior Donnybrook was right where I left it, and that was encouraging!)



Broken thunder egg; matrix is pale green and interior is smooth bubbly quartz. This was a surface find and has an unusual rind and shape.



A few more whole ones and pieces. The tiny ones tend to have a grey 'yolk' center, but the bigger ones have the open quartz with lavender or orange banding consistent with Dutch Donnybrook and Old Military. Matrix appears red, pale grey or pale green.



False Pictographs from another hike. (If I had to guess, it's oxidation rings of something in the stone as the stone cooled; the bands seem unique to each jointed stone)

Great pictures, Kaljaia.  Thanks for posting them.  Those false pictographs are too cool!
